1 apple per student
Paper Plates
Sharp Knife (teacher use only)
Post It Notes or Scrap Paper for guesses
Students placed ALL the apples in designated area.
Apples were divided into 4 groups. (Red, Green, Yellow, Mixed)
Students guessed how many seeds were in each group of apples.
Students guessed how many seeds were in all groups combined.
Students recorded their guesses on a data sheet.
I grouped students into 4 groups. (one per apple color)
I
cut the apples in 1/2 and have students count the seeds for their group's color.
Students
recorded the complete seed count for their apple group.
When all seeds had been counted students compared their estimates with
the
actual counts
(in both color and combined groups).
I
recorded each Apple Color Group Count and also Completed Count and
submit results
on the result page.
